Counting Down

I am counting down the days until I board the big flying ship for Espania!  The target date is May 19, 2010.  That is about 67 days from today.  Friends who have made this epic journey caution me to "travel light" and wear the proper foot gear.  This will be a good exercise for me.  To travel light will be to give up all the creature comforts I have grown accustomed to having in my life.  No hair dryer, no makeup, no MacPro,   How do I shed the sense of self that I have created the last 55 years?  How do I rebirth a new me? As I sit with my list of things to pack (47 items so far) I fear I cannot bear to be without any of them, yet, could I?  67 days...
